Still Waters Posted August 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2017 A litter of piglets whose bacon was saved from a barn fire has been served up as dinner to the firefighters who rescued them. The 18 piglets and two sows survived the fire in Wiltshire in February, which saw 60 tonnes of hay catch fire. In a potentially controversial move, farmer Rachel Rivers thanked the Pewsey fire team by giving them sausages. She said: "I'm sure vegetarians will hate this." The firefighters however said the bangers were "fantastic". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-41012135 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbenol Posted August 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Only in this case it was out of the fire and into the frying pan! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sees Posted August 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) OMG such twisted logic! Thereagain the piglets met their assured destination before they had a chance to grow more.... (Could have cut out the middle man and let them burn/roast in the fire - ready to eat!) Maybe saving the barn was the main concern....

HandsomeGorilla Posted August 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Well, that's...freakin weird. As much as I love piggies, both alive and cooked, I think I'd be a little freaked out by that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnchorSteam Posted August 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2017 ... really? I call BS on this story. Do you know how long it takes to render Pig Meat down and make sausages? This story makes it sound like it happened later that day or the next one. And do you know how much meat 2 sows and 18 piglets will yield? enough to feed about 40 Fire Departments, and not just for a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
